READING’S newest cocktail bar launched with a bang last week.
The Cocktail Club opened its doors on Friday, November 26, with a preview the evening before.
The Gun Street venue is spread over two floors, with a small stage on its lower level.
Dawn Donohoe, managing director of The Cocktail Club, said: “We are extremely excited to be bringing our distinctive brand and party vibe to Reading.
“Reading was targeted as part of our expansion plans, not only for its accessible location in the Thames Valley, but also for its thriving business landscape, and popularity as a booming cosmopolitan consumer destination.
“We’re working round the clock to ensure our new site brings something to the town that’s never quite been seen before. Truly unique in terms of décor, staff and of course, cocktails.”
The company was founded by friends JJ Goodman and James ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins, after appearing on BBC’s The Restaurant in 2009. The brand has since been acquired by Nightcap, a company led by ex-Dragons Den’s investor Sarah Willingham.
The bar is open from 4pm. It closes at 1am Sundays to Wednesdays, 1.30am on Mondays and 2.30am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Two for one cocktails are available until 7pm each day.
